Few players in the Vols' 2012 Signing Class took as much time to make their decision as linebacker Kenneth Bynum did this past winter. Bynum, from Jacksonville, Fla., had committed to Cincinnati way back in the fall, but after getting the full-court press from Tennessee coaches, changed his mind at the last moment. Looking back on it, Bynum is still thrilled with his decision.

"It was really tough at the time," Bynum said of those hectic days before signing day. "Tennessee was always a school I was interested in, but to go through all that right before you're about ready to sign with another school, it was hectic for sure. I feel great about my decision now though.

"Looking back on it, I would do it all over again. I feel like Tennessee is a great fit for me."
